An Essay by Kevin I. Slaughter
STAND ALONE No. SA1293

First published online on April 23rd, 2025, Anton LaVey and the Right of Might is now available in a limited, finely crafted booklet edition. This essay offers a clear and uncompromising rebuttal to those who accuse LaVey of intellectual theft in drawing from Might is Right, tracing the roots of the criticism and dismantling it with precision and insight only available to somebody who is deeply knowledgeable on both subjects.

While the text remains free to read online, this edition is for those who value a beautifully produced hardcopy and wish to support the work of the author. The modest price reflects not only the cost of production, but also a more generous gesture of appreciation for his efforts.

Printed in a total edition of 66 total copies, this 5.5" x 8.5" saddle-stitched booklet runs 20 pages and is printed on fine French paper by a supporter of the project. The 43 copies in this second printing are available exclusively through Underworld Amusements.

Cover and interior illustrations are by Boris Riedel, adapted from the April 1, 1924 issue (Vol. 2, No. 3) of Chicago Literary Times, Ben Hecht’s “Modern Sardonic Journal.” From the author’s personal collection.
